The answer is "Maybe"! You need to ask your human resource department if they will pay for a wellness plan that includes diet and exercise. Usually, it has to be Doctor Supervised, like ours here at Forward Motion Fitness. Dr. Kimberly Carlucciwill oversee your entire healthy lifestyle plan by checking your alignment, blood-work, blood pressure, measurements, food plan, and therapeutic exercise sessions.

What if human resources says "No"? Then have our office check your insurance because some insurance and most HRA and FSA will cover you if you have factors such as a high BMI (Body Mass Index), high blood sugar, high blood-pressure, etc.

If you would like us to check it for you, please contact our office at 973-744-9880.

I have been a chiropractor for since 1996 but an athlete since I played baseball with the boys in the early pee wee leagues. I continued with sports throughout my high school career: softball, basketball, skiing and competitive horseback riding. In chiropractic school I was introduced to functional exercise and structural rehabilitation and continue to do this type of exercise to this day with great success. I have now been trained in Functional Medicine. Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
